Unidos Crasto Superior BASF Exclusive 2019

Portugal, Spain’s smaller neighbor on the Iberian Peninsula, has maintained its culture and national identity. Just as the country, the wines produced here have a completely different character from those of its neighbor. From the green Vinho Verde in the north and the sunbaked Alenteijo in the south, the Portuguese have more than 500 different varieties.

The Quinta do Crasto winery is beautifully situated on top of a hill high above the Douro River, between the cities of Régua and Pinhao. The winery takes its name from the Roman fort that once stood here. The Roquette family turned the Quinta from a simple winery that sold grapes and port to renowned producers, to one of the most recognizable names in the Portuguese wine industry.

This blend of the Touriga Nacional, Touriga France, Tinta Roriz and Sousao grape varieties is full-bodied with an aroma of dark berries and vanilla. The grapes grew on vines more than 70 years old, and you can sure taste it in this concentrated wine. Enjoy this exclusive BASF wine with lamb, tapas or a selection of cheese.
